I don't have experience in windows environment but I don't know where to start I do have CCNA and it does not help a lot in my work in IT , I really need more skills and knowledge , but I am unable to find a way to get skills by my own.
Is there any school or certification , home lab maybe .... any suggestion to get experience?

Thank you

    Home lab for sure, setup a few windows VMs with an active directory server (you can get trials of all the licenses, or go through a school if you have an educational email) and practice working with group policy, setting up users etc

    Install a free trial license of Windows server onto a VM.
